Hitt Canyon. New Mexico/Texas. Franklin Mountain State Park. 01.20. gave Young-ja an acorn squash for scooping me for the hike. she collected two uprooted cacti along the trail to transplant to her garden. after more than half a lifetime of eating disorders and depression/anxiety, I am very proud to be making myself food, getting out and socialising, cleaning, and even putting future meals away in tupperware. here’s to creating a history of healthy habits. 01.20

New Year’s Day Hike. Northern Pass Loop. Franklin Mountains. I made new friends with a few inspiring older women this morning. Young-ja, 73, Korean-American, was a ball-room dancer and nurse before starting to hike at 50 years old and then traveling the world to summits. Cinda, Korean-American, started running in her 40s and has ran a half-marathon in all but 11 states. Carol, 75, has completed the toughest trek in El Paso more than 10 times. Young-ja said I could ride with her to hikes anytime, and I told her I would come over to help with her cactus garden. 1.1.21.

First day in new home. First time mountain biking. First time frying eggs (I know, shush). El Paso, TX. 12.31.20.

I ended up having car sex with my coworker, who is married, parked in a random neighborhood outside the airport, the night before my flight. So That was interesting. It was her first queer experience, and she had previously talked with her partner about it so it was open and honest and such. I don’t really know how I feel about it but it was nice and now I am somewhere new.

Mt. Rogers. Grayson Highlands. VA. 12.20

my friend and coworker Lucy surprised me with a moleskine scrapbook of my time at the nursery and Richmond, including photos, poems, drawings, and page contributions from my peers. I was so smiley and overwhelmed, repeatedly saying “There’s just so many nice things.” I really don’t understand why someone would direct such a compilation of kindness toward me. Anyway, this was just one bit of one page from when we were drawing in the park overlooking the city. 12.20

when I used to wait for the bus to teach at school and the ajummas scolded me for my improper breakfasts of dark chocolate almonds or candy bars. ‘15

I was looking back and apparently I have deleted many posts over the years -- from my first flat in Korea, my visit to Jinju and the horse ranch, and some adventures with past relationships. I do not know where those photos are, but I did manage to find a reblog of some snaps from Namhae Island. ‘15

hey y’all. please plant a native to your area. some butterfly populations decline each year due to the sterilization of our environment. it’s important to understand the difference between host plants and nectar providers. any pretty flower can feed a butterfly but they barely eat, if at all! however there are specific plants which host only certain types of caterpillars, the most crucial stage. for instance, milkweed hosts monarchs, paw paws — zebra swallowtails, spicebush — spicebush swallowtails. it’s also beneficial to have bright tubular plants to feed hummingbirds, and berry producers for song birds.

last day at the nursery. taking deliveries, cleaning chainsaws, and loading mulch. 12.20
